Description: | image: French infantry man a thoroughly constructed trench during a night attack by German infantry in the Champagne
sector in September 1915. The French troops fire machine guns and rifles through purpose-buillt breeches in the parapet, which is topped
with sandbags and protected by a belt of barbed wire. The German attack appears to be floundering in front of these defences, the night sky
illuminated by artillery fire and star shells. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Bomb Damage Death Western Front trench / defences Imperial German Army military suffering French Army Weapons Action Military Personnel wounded / disabled First World War Artillery | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Librairie Armand Colin, 103, Boulevard Saint-Michel, Paris | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
